‘Hot for Teacher’ Student’s Appeal Denied: Suspended for Writing an Essay
Foundation for Individual Rights in Education ^ | 3-13-12 | the FIRE

Posted on 03/13/2012 5:36:06 PM PDT by bigbob

Oakland University in Michigan has denied the appeal of a student who was barred from campus, suspended for three semesters, and required to undergo "sensitivity" counseling for authoring a class assignment in which he stated that he found his instructors attractive. While the assignment specifically permitted students to write creatively about any topic, the university bizarrely classified his "Hot for Teacher" essay as "unlawful." Joseph Corlett came to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) for help.

"Oakland University made up its own definition of the 'law' in order to punish a student for his creative writing," said FIRE President Greg Lukianoff. "The special irony here is that Joseph asked several times if it was really okay to write anything, and several times he was told it was. Now, because he took that instruction seriously, he is being kicked out of school and facing mandatory counseling. Having taken many, many writing classes myself, I know that essays often have racy topics, from drugs, to sex, to violence, but apparently a riff on a Van Halen song that seemed to be everywhere when I was a kid is a capital offense."

...FR perverts come out and cheer her on...


I think things are a tad more serious on that account now with most freepers. Child sexual abuse has become a part of the liberal agenda now. It’s not so funny anymore and surely the porno fantsy of boys benefiting from the attentions of homo and female perv adults needs to be updated to current reality.

Newt was abused by an adult teacher as a teen who latched onto him - his first “wife.” It sure didn not serve his ability to enter into a normal relationship with a woman. The outcome of this is devastating for boys and girls. They have their normal sexual development derailed. Men in our family were abused by homos when they were young teens in the boyscouts and it wrecked them pretty throughly as men.

Beyond the silly realm of bantering in fantasy, I don’t think Laz is grooving on adult child sex when push comes to shove. That is true of the freepers I have come to know. The bantering is not as much fun now that liberals are actually advocating the adult sexual preying upon minors. It is not fantasy anymore and children pay a steep price in reality. If you see anyone doing that, jump on them. They don’t realize what they are doing.

I don’t think Oakland University has anything to do with the University of Michigan system, apart from being located in Michigan.

What does any of that have to do with a 56 year old man saying that he thinks his 49 year old professor reminds him of Ginger from Gilligan’s Island? Hmmm?

I am glad you brought that up, starlifter.

NOW has bastardized decency and thoughtfulness by using political correctness as a legal, sexual and political weapon against normal men and women. They have done that with all aspects of human fairness, love, loyalty, decency and respect in our culture. All that is left is materialism.

Femi-nazis have used the normal caring and love of Americans (especially white men who were targeted) as a weapon against them. Americans in turn found these good things about our cultural ethics, dangerous weaknesses. I hope we can repair that damage amongst ourselves some day. :)
